Coming back from one of the most rewarding activities of my career so far: Our first Summer School on TropicalSoil and Forest Assessment Techniques in Fort Portal, Uganda! Participants and Lecturers from all over Europe and East Africa. tropires.org Some impressions

In our new paper in New Phytologist, we suggest that the possibility of non-water-saturated air spaces in #leaves should not be overlooked in measurements related to leaf gas exchange and in stomatal models, especially at high #VPD: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

I'm very happy that this study got published! The adverse impact of VPD on leaf gas exchange seems to have been overestimated because the unsaturation of intercellular air spaces is not considered.

Happy to share my impressions from this year’s summer school of the Extremes_WSL program and SwissForestLab on «Forests & Extremes – crisis or transition?» in Davos. I was teaching how difficult it is to forecast the impact of #ClimateChangerelated extremes on #biodiversity.
